Itinerary

Dawson is a walkable city full of eclectic charm and quirky character. This 4-day getaway offers a good mix of guided private tours that take you to both the must-see and more remote places around Dawson, with plenty of free time built in to explore the town on your own. You’ll find cool boardwalk streets with old facades that will have you believing you’ve stepped back in time to the Gold Rush era. Keep your camera handy at all times as there are plenty of photo opportunities around town. Dawson also offers amazing local food experiences. We suggest a visit to Bon Ton & Company, a restaurant that serves amazing locally sourced food in a contemporary setting that rivals eateries in Vancouver or Toronto, as well as Red Mammoth for a more casual meal of local and delicious cuisine.
